Beer Review: Beamish Irish Stout (Like Guinness)

WRXedUSA · 04-05-2004, 02:11 AM

Still pounding away at the Old Chicago Beer tour, when I came accross this Saturday night.

What do I think?

Well, its Ok I guess, It's no Guinny, but it will suffice. The wieght is a little weak, watery. It keeps a head, but not near as robust as the orignial. Flavour? A little "piney" as in pine needles. Closer to Murphy's than anything else. It's nitro infused BTW.

I'll stick with the St. James Gate original.

You?

Why Old Chicago call last call at 12:30?

Never had it... and well the last few times ive had Guinness I was realy let down. I need to find a good irish pub around here.

I had too much of sammy a's white ale tho.... god damn does all the yeast give me gas. My beer supply is low, ive got a few whites and a few pale ales.... so I have to find soemthing new...

Stones 04.04 Vertical Epic Ale an this years Old Guardian is out soon so ill have to pick a few of thoes up.
Edit: how could a beer with a lable like this not be good?

the sam adams white ale is good sh)) man! I just killed a 12 pack this week..good stuff

If u like white ales, get ur hands on some Blue moon..soo good. Try it with a slice of lemon, good stuff.

as for beamish, i really enjoy that b33r. I had that last night and really liked it. Its got more of a coffee flavor which I enjoy

ehehe

I got me some new castle tonight, gonna have one now just for this thread

keith

Everyone that buys this beer that I know did not even have a clue that it was a Coors product.

I have had Beamish in a pub in England. Pretty good stuff. I like Murphy's better.

Blue Moon> Boulevard

For a yeast infected beer, I like it.

Yeppers, it's a Coors product, notice the shape of the bottle.

Whoa! It's rooks rike Coors Light!

I'd rate my top three stouts this way:

-Murphy's
-Beamish
-Guiness

I think Guiness is overrated. Plus, they knocked Murphy's out of my favorite pubs
by offering exclusivity deals with the pub owners.
